UPS Standby Power
The PAL-1 printer requires a standby power source in the event of the loss of primary input power (AC mains).
NOTES:
- All wires 14 AWG min, 600V insulation.
- Wiring to the printer must be 14 AWG min., 600V insulation in conduit, and located in the same room as the control panel, with a length LESS THAN 20 ft (UL) or 18 m (ULC).
- The UPS must meet the requirements of UL1481 or UL1778 for UL installations. The UPS must meet the requirements of CSA-C22.2 No. 107.3 for ULC installations.
- According to the UL/ULC requirements for the UPS, 4 hours of standby power is required if there is a backup generator. If there is no backup generator, then 24 hours of standby power is required.
FireFinder-XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular System
- The FireFinder-XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular system requires a Siemens model RPM module to interface to a Centronics parallel printer. When an RPM is used in conjunction with PAL-1, the FireFinder-XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular system provides a supervised logging printer meeting the requirements of an NFPA 72 Proprietary or UL1076 Security system. The printer is supervised for paper out, AC loss, and printer parallel cable removal.
- Refer to the RPM Installation Instructions, P/N 315-033270, for more details on connecting and programming a RPM module.
- Figure 3 shows the proper installation of PAL-1 with an RPM module.
NOTES:
1. The maximum distance from the RPM to the PAL-1 is 6 feet. The two modules must be in the same room. Wiring to the printer must be 14 AWG min., 600V insulation in conduit, and located in the same room as the control panel.
2. For NFPA 72 Local, Auxiliary and Remote Station configurations, connect the output of the RPM to any UL ITE listed printer.
3. The printer must support the EPSON FX command set.
4. The printer is supervised for paper out, AC loss, and printer parallel cable removal by the RPM.
5A. For the Panasonic printer: After loading the paper in the PAL-1 printer, turn off the power and follow the steps below.
a. While pressing the LOAD PARK button, turn on the power to the PAL-1 printer. Keep pressing the LOAD PARK button for 5 seconds.
b. Release the LOAD PARK button.
c. The current setting will print.
d. When printing is completed, the ON LINE indicator will be illuminated. If the ON LINE indicator is not lit, press the ON LINE button.
5B. For the Epson LQ2090 and LQ-2090II printers: Follow the steps below to enter default-setting mode. If single sheet paper is loaded, you'll need to load a new sheet each time the printer ejects a printed page.
For Auto line feed, the default-setting must be On as described in Step e.
a. Make sure the printer is on, and paper is loaded. Then press the Menu buttons (Item↑ and Set) until the printer beeps and both the Menu lights turn on.
The printer enters default-setting mode and prints a line showing which language is currently selected for printing the instructions.
If the printer does not access default-setting mode, the printer is in lock-out mode. When the lock-out mode is on, the Pause and Paper Out lights flash simultaneously when the locked buttons are pushed. Follow the procedure for turning off the lock-out mode on page 7.
b. If you want a different language, press the Item↓ button until the printout shows the language you want underlined.
c. Press the Set button to accept the language. The printer prints a line asking if you want to print all the current settings.
d. To print a list of all the current settings, press the Set button. The printer prints all the settings and then the first setting again.
To go through the settings one at a time, press the Item↓ or Item↑ button. The printer prints the first setting and its current value.
e. Press the Set button to scroll through the options until you see Auto line feed. Press the Item↓ or Item↑ button to select On.
f. Press the Set button to scroll through the remaining options for the selected setting until you see the one you want. Press the Item↓ or Item↑ button to select the next or previous setting you want to change.
g. Repeat Step f for any other settings you want to change
h. When you finish, press the Menu buttons (Item↑ and Set) again to exit default-setting mode
Your new settings become the printer's defaults.
Turning Off the Lock-Out Mode: You can turn off the lock-out mode easily by using buttons on the control panel. Follow the steps below to turn off the lock-out mode.
a. Make sure the printer is turned off.
Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least 5 seconds before turning it back on; otherwise, you may damage the printer.
b. Press and hold both the Load/Eject and Pause buttons. While these buttons are pressed, turn the printer on and the printer will beep once, indicating that the default-setting menu is unlocked.
To turn on the lock-out mode, repeat steps a and b. The printer beeps twice, indicating that the lock-out mode has been turned on.
MXL System
- Installation of the PAL-1 in an MXL system requires that a Siemens model ANN-2 or ANN-3 is installed in the system. The ANN-2 and ANN-3 come installed in an MKB-5 or MKB-6 respectively. An ANN-3 is also included in model RCC-3.
